Disappointed but OK

Have had a big disappointment in my creative life the last week. But it is OK. Not the first and, as we all know, not the last. Was going to be featured in an article for a large online magazine but job made a stink about a "professional conflict of interests" and now I can not do it.
Must find something in the next couple days to perk me up and get me going again!
Would normally just ride it out or take time to go out into nature, however, also have two huge books to compose and behind schedule.
Hope to come back to this more a bit later when can take time to process more, but still getting used to coming here and writing regularly. Have had many ideas and longings for posts the last week but then go do something else. That seems to be the hardest - this is almost like Morning Pages and Artist Dates - just showing up and making it routine!
Ahhh, how about a share of one of my swan pics! I have these swans that have taken up residence near me and they have a nest in the reeds. First is of the one feeding and hanging out in the Bay near by. Second, is the one sitting on the nest. Interesting I can not tell the male from female or which one is sitting on nest or out feeding! Sometimes I think it would be nice for humans to be more like that.... Soon, the nest will be totally hidden by the cattails they are in. I hope in the summer to see the babies!
